Amazon Brings Two Famous Comics to the Kindle Fire
Quote:
Two anthologies of Doonesbury and Dilbert comic strips will be available in digital format for the first time as a Kindle Fire exclusive, Amazon announced today. This is the result of a deal between the company and Andrews McMeel Publishing.

Following the agreement, Kindle Fire owners will be able to buy Garry Trudeau’s “40: A Doonesbury Retrospective” and Scott Adams’ “Dilbert 2.0,” which will both be available in four separate volumes, sold respectively at $9.99 and $7.99 each.

I feel much the same on the humor, but I realise that for some working at large companies people the situations in Dilbert are too true to life to seem funny.

Conversely, sometimes you have to laugh in order not to cry.

The nuggets of truth in his absurdest moments are what make it screamingly funny. I have keepers that are like, "we did that!"

I have the far side complete collection, I was going to try and load them all into my Kindle3 as screensavers but the format on the original isn't very conducive to altering for the Kindle3 screen. I suppose I might get around to it one day.

One Xmas my brother gifted me the complete Far Side. Great collection but those books weigh 50 pounds!
